ILLENIUM has released "Feel Alive," a collaboration with Bastille and Dabin.
Musically, the track sounds like it takes some influence from 2010's EDM but places a modern sheen on it. The vocal delivery is a perfect fit for this arrangement.
Check it out and see what you think.
This week's #KPopMonday theme is #PunctuationMarks with songs that have punctuation in their titles
A quiet trance-y tune by my fave Hong Dabin. "How you feel? Tell me that you're real. Swimming through your words cuz I enjoy a thrill. Chit chat. Tic tac? Kick back. Relax."

This week's #KPopMonday theme is #7thHeaven celebrating groups who promoted together for 7 years or more.
A corollary to the previous toot is DPR LIVE's splitting with DPR to perform under his actual name, Hong Dabin 홍다빈. The first song with DPR was titled "Till I Die." This song, on his first true solo album, is titled "Till I Live." After trauma, trying to figure out who he still wants to be.

This week's #KPopMonday theme is #7thHeaven celebrating groups that promoted together for 7 years or more.
2015 was the creation of Dream Perfect Regime with DPR Ian and DPR LIVE.
Their first combined release was this song, with Dabin rapping and Ian doing the visuals.
(Dabin left in 2023, so just made it to 7 years!)
(Honestly, not my favorite song, but it is good to revisit where they started.)

Dabin once again proves that dance music doesn’t have to sacrifice feeling for flair. In Aura Park, he gives us both—and that’s worth every listen.

#JukeboxFridayNight theme #WhatIf for questions and wondering.
The eery wavering music of this song fits that theme really well. No true resolution

Wow, I love this in-depth review of Dabin's "Giggles" album. It wasn't until I read the byline and author's short bio that I realized this is written by a sophomore in high school! I feel like she understood and wrote about the songs and lyrics well.

DPR LIVE Unveils New Chapter with Dabin and ‘Giggles’ – Westwood Horizon
https://westwoodhorizon.com/2024/01/dpr-live-unveils-new-chapter-with-dabin-and-giggles/
For today's #KPopMonday theme of #SayMyName I pick the fun almost 1980s A-Ha-esque song "Ghost K!D" by Dabin, formerly known as DPR LIVE.
His first album under his own name as he works to get money back from his former manager. He talks a lot about who he is, who he was, who he wants to be on this album.
And he mentions his name. 😉

Dabin - Ghost K!D (Official Audio)
"To her I'm livin', I'm livin', I'm livin' lavish
Deading rappers like I'm rude and savage
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
But the bag is really filled with
Counterfeit and beaucoup garbage
Yeah yeah yeah yeah"
- #Dabin in "Kiss The Ring"
